Question:
How long does it take for a hairline fracture in the ribs to heal?
One day I rode my bike (stunt riding), lost balance and a jumped off my bike and the fence next to the obstacle broke my fall and put a hairline fracture in my left rib.
I let it heal for about 8 days and then I lightly jogged, lifted 2.5kg weight plates so that my muscles would not suffer atrophy.
Rode again yesterday and it began hurting a lot again causing discomfort. I can't jump my bike and do rigorous movements without feeling discomfort again.
I've been drinking milk lately as well to get more calcium to my bones.
